Yorkshire will be giving youth a chance in the three-day match against Loughborough University Centre of Cricketing Excellence which begins at Headingley Carnegie today, writes DAVID WARNER.

Andrew Gale captains Yorkshire who have rested all their senior players from the game which carries first class status.

Only two will be making their first class debuts - left-hander, Adam Lyth, from Whitby, and all-rounder, Chris Gilbert, from Scarborough.

Although Adil Rashid has made a big impact for Yorkshire in the first month of the season, fellow leg-spinner, Mark Lawson, now has an opportunity to show that he, too, has a possible England future ahead of him.

Gerard Brophy, Yorkshire's regular wicketkeeper, rests up for a few days after suffering severe bruising on his right hand during the Championship match with Worcestershire.

Fast bowler, Deon Kruis, who pulled a hamstring during the Friends Provident Trophy match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge on April 22, continues to work his way back to full fitness.

Yorkshire: A Gale, M Wood, A Lyth, R Pyrah, C Gilbert, S Guy, D Wainwright, M Lawson, Ajmal Shahzad, S Patterson, N Thornicroft.
